Agree with tushar......
In the case of long term capital gain arising out of the sale of shares or equity mutual funds, there is no income tax under section 10(38) is fully exempt.

go to your mutual fund site and check the status of specific fund, also the redemption memo contain the exemption notification data.
mere on gross information "mutual fund" discussion can not continue. unless specific fund details are available

No need to rack your brains-if the AMC has deducted STT,then it is exempt.Otherwise taxable.
